MADELINE COULTER Obituary

MADELINE (MADDIE) GRACE GERMAN COULTER "The brightest of stars are those who shine for the benefit of others" Madeline (Maddie) Grace German Coulter died suddenly and tragically on Saturday, April 11, 2015. Madeline was born on June 28, 2000 in Toronto. She was the beautiful and treasured daughter of Nicole German and Chris Coulter, beloved big sister to Zachary and Sawyer, proud granddaughter to Gary and Sandra German, Rick and Carol Coulter. Much loved niece to Paul, David (Sherida), Kirby, Jaime (Leslie), Kelly and Ruth. She was the eldest cousin of Emma, Madeleine, Graydon, Georgia and Charlie. While Madeline's life was much too short, she was fortunate to have had so many wonderful life experiences and to touch so many people in her special way. She was a sparkle in the room that brought laughter and energy to everyone. We will always remember her that way. Madeline was a Grade 9 student at North Toronto Collegiate Institute and former student at Toronto French School and Country Day School. We are very grateful for the outpouring of love and support from those whose hearts were touched by her loving and happy spirit. We want to thank all the friends, family and professionals that supported her on her journey, in particular her two incredible younger brothers, Zac and Sawyer and the staff at North York General Hospital 7 North. Rest in peace sweet angel - we will hold you in our hearts forever. Visitation will be at Morley Bedford Funeral Home, 159 Eglinton Ave. West (2 stoplights west of Yonge St.), Toronto, Ontario M4R 1A8, on Thursday, April 16th, 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The Celebration of Life service will be at The Granite Club, 2350 Bayview Ave., Toronto, on Saturday, April 18th starting at 4 p.m. Please note parking may be limited. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to make a donation to an endowment fund set up in Madeline's name to support awareness and care of adolescents struggling with depression and other mental health related concerns. Donations can be made to the North York General Hospital Foundation, Adolescent Mental Health Unit in Madeline's name by calling 416-756-6944. http://www.nyghfoundation.ca

The memories I have of Madeline are so varied. The one that stays in my mind the most is of her at age 2 and Sarah at 18 months in the tub together at Alex Chesney's cottage.
Madeline was always sweet, thoughtful, soulful, well behaved and beautiful. I never remember her getting into trouble - while Sarah was running crazy all over the place - Madeline would be sitting there patiently with her whalespout on top of her head.
I can see her feeding Zac a cookie in the park. He was crying so hard because he was so too fat to crawl, scoot or walk. Madeline would watch over him and care for him with such tenderness.
Then she blossomed into a stunning young woman, with such grace and poise. She was aptly named.
Nicole and Chris, Zac and Sawyer, German and Coulter Families and to her friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you as are Luke, Sarah and Jessica's.
We are so very sorry for your loss, she left us much too soon.

Carol,Rick,Chris,Zachary,Sawyer and family,
No words we share could begin to alleviate the extent of your profound heartache,and sense of loss right now. Please know that Maddie's presence made a difference in the lives of many. She was deeply loved and loved in return! We will remember Maddie with such fondness as we recall the antics and boisterous Baptiste Lake laughter ( Sawyer, Zach and Emma along with her) on those lazy hazy days of summer- Carol, Rick and Chris close by to referee or join in the fun. Maddie was a kind, caring, and a gentle spirit. She naturally connected with Connor on a level which was truly heartfelt; hammock swings, tube rides, just being present. This connection was peaceful, authentic and unique for a beautiful young lady and Connor knew it. We feel very lucky to have witnessed special memory making at the lake and may you all hold onto these happy memories. Thank you Maddie for making a difference , I know you will work your magic in a place of peace and shine brightly on your loving family.

Dear Nicole, Chris, Zachary and Sawyer,
Our family is deeply saddened for your loss. Our daughter considered Maddie to be a good friend. She very much enjoyed spending time with Maddie who was very kind and open to her even though she was a year younger. Sophie describes Maddie as being very funny and a joy to be around. I hope it will comfort you to know what a wide net of love and kindness she spread and that there are people you have never met who are heartbroken for your loss as well as their own. Maddie was obviously a beautiful soul who touched so many hearts. Her light is radiating in many schools across this city and she has many friends, who, as one guidance teacher at BH described as "all wanting to do something to honour her memory" . Her light will continue to shine. In the meantime, we want you to know that our thoughts, love and prayers for peace are with you all today and always.

It has been many, many years Chris but Facebook gives us the chance to follow people from afar and I always enjoy seeing what my childhood friends are up to. Your loss saddens me as much as it would had I seen you all these years. My heart goes out to you and your family. I do know there is a really great guy up there doing wonderful things, as my sister lost her 23 year old son just over a year ago. It sounds like Maddie will be doing many wonderful things as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
